Being able to fly was a skill in its own right, and in a world where everyone could only move during the day, keeping that completely hidden was simply impractical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason she didn't want to be seen was her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, being seen wouldn't be the end of the world. At most it'd become an embarrassing story to laugh about later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But social death was still social death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person can die, but they must never die of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a matter of principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the self-heating hotpot was ready, Lan Qingyou — who hadn't eaten in days — immediately fished out a slice of potato and stuffed it into her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosive burst of beef tallow and chili aroma in her mouth drew an involuntary exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the car accident five years ago, she'd eaten nothing but hospital meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't tasted anything spicy in so long. She began wolfing it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, she scrolled through the Regional Channel chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's everyone's basic skill? Mine is Gathering Skill — it costs 20 Mana Points per use, and I've only got 50 total.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know it costs 20?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I snuck outside earlier and tested it right by my door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Salute to the brave one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine's Gathering Skill too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like we all got the same basic magic. Too bad I've only got 30 Mana Points — one use and I'm done, gotta rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's still not bad, sis. I'm even worse off — only 1 Spirit and 10 Mana Points. If it really costs 20 like you said, I can't even use magic at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, your Spirit's a bit low, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't help it. Guess I'm just not cut out to be a mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do you gather resources?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to be a lumberjack, so I picked the Axe. Tomorrow I'll just go back to doing what I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, I picked a Pickaxe. Want to swap tools tomorrow and take turns?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence! Come on, add me as a friend and let's talk details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading their chat, Lan Qingyou nearly choked on her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, well. And here I thought my stats were rock-bottom, but there are masters out there even worse off.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the guy had a point — Spirit didn't represent intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person with high intelligence didn't necessarily have high Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But 20 Mana Points per use, huh. So at full capacity, I can only use it four times before sitting around waiting for mana to recover?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh wait — I also need to reserve enough mana for flight.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So three times, then.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, what resources does everyone need for their Shelter upgrade? Mine requires 3,100 units of Vine and ten E-rank Monster Crystal Cores. Is that even reasonable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems reasonable. Probably depends on what kind of Shelter you have. My Shelter is inside a cave, so I need 3,000 Stone and 100 Wood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't it be simpler? I need Vine and Stone, plus Wood and Soil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them discuss this, Lan Qingyou suddenly remembered that Shelters needed to be upgraded too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly checked what her Tree Hollow required for its upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tree Hollow Shelter (Level 2) upgrade requirements: Wood x2,500, Stone x100, Vine x500, E-rank Monster Crystal Core x10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed different Shelters required different materials. She just didn't know how easy they'd be to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her Gathering Skill and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the World Will, the higher the Shelter's level, the stronger the Magic Shield's protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that also implied that the future dangers they'd face would be severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Whatever.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it. Future problems are for the future.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With food in her stomach, her blood was busy dealing with digestion now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brain, wound tight for days, could finally relax at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things being what they were, she might as well sleep first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A straw-padded \"bed\" might not be much, but to Lan Qingyou it was still better than the bare wooden board she'd had before. At least it didn't dig into her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, come to think of it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Did I forget something?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the straw, drifting somewhere between wakefulness and sleep, the thought flickered through Lan Qingyou's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleep was always a soothing thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for someone like Lan Qingyou, who hadn't slept properly in days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she opened her eyes the next morning, sunlight was already streaming through the glass window and falling across her bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glug, glug, glug—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took several swallows of ice-cold mineral water, and the freshly awakened Lan Qingyou couldn't help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she locked the World Channel and Regional Channel screens, grabbed the sausage she'd deliberately left on the desk the night before, and flew out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did she finally see what kind of place she'd ended up in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a forest — towering, colossal trees everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, setting a small stream below sparkling with dancing light. The entire forest looked breathtakingly beautiful, impossibly fantastical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this particular tree — the one her Shelter was in — had a trunk at least a hundred meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this giant, the little door of her Tree Hollow Shelter looked like a sesame seed stuck to a watermelon — utterly inconspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine. At least during the day, even if someone spotted this tree, they'd never think there was a Shelter up here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a \"secret base.\" The thought gave her a little thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it was a tree-based Shelter, why wasn't there a staircase or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her front door was at least twenty to thirty meters above the ground. Without her Light Body Spell, she'd probably struggle just to get down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puzzled, Lan Qingyou circled the trunk — and discovered that the vines crawling all over it could apparently serve as a way to climb up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should clear these vines away. That way I can rest easy.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing that no one else could enter the Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Lan Qingyou cast Gathering Skill on the vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snap, a section of vines collapsed and plummeted straight to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well then. Survival here is pretty hardcore — no auto-pickup, no storage function.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping vines for propulsion, Lan Qingyou floated down, gathered the fallen vines, and returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She selected the shop activation option in the Exchange, then tossed the vines onto the small screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9f43bf6ad164dae624d253e7dea25a782da501cab6a59cb5590b46f1d4fe8d4","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-5","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-3",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
